The name originates from the ancient Roman base in this area, Castrum Saboesia, and is often wrongfully interpreted as originating from the Hungarian word sebes meaning "fast". In 1301 the city is mentioned in documents as Sebus, and again in 1341 as Civitas Sebus. The German name Mühlbach (meaning "mill brook" in contemporary German)) is derived from Malembach, which in the medieval German dialect of the founders of the city meant "brook full of stones". This is the name by which the city was first mentioned in documents in 1245.
